The nation's largest network of 5-star pet sitters and dog walkers

I am a student at Suffolk University. I have been a dog sitter/walker for six years back at home and created a network of animals to care for, I am looking to do the same here in Boston. I grew up with in a house full of animals and am very comfortable with many types of creatures. I certainly miss being around animals, so I would really look forward to spending time with your animal! I learned care taking from my mother who has done animal care for a long time, so I have seen many different types of pet situations and know how to cope. I am very flexible with changes or any specific needs you or your pet require. I would love to come hang out with your animal or explore the city with them! I have class in the morning Mon-Wed, one class in the afternoon on Thursdays, and am completely free Fri-Sun.

I always grew up with dogs (a black lab and Irish red and white setter). I would walk them every day before school. Then in college, I would watch my Professor’s dog when her family was away. I would also pick that dog up from the vet and from campus. Now that I am a young professional in the Boston area I have a lot of time on my hands and would love to spend that time with dogs. I currently work about 40-45 hours a week Monday through Friday. I would be able to walk the dog before work or during lunch and when I get out of work. On the weekends, I am very flexible and have a lot of time on my hands. We (the dog/s and I) would go for long walks, play fetch and eat some doggy-friendly treats! Based on my experience, I know the dogs, the owner and myself would be comfortable taking care of the dogs. I live in a one bedroom, walk up apartment right in downtown Boston. My apartment is very clean and has a lot of natural light. I live near a beautiful park and there are always a lot of dogs around to play with. I also live near a specialty dog store so it would be easy for me to get healthy snacks, dog food and most importantly- toys!!! I am also flexible to watch dogs in their owner’s homes if that is what makes them feel comfortable! Please feel free to reach out to me and I cannot wait to meet your dog!

Hi there, my name is Majidah; I am a yoga instructor. I live in the North End, I have one roommate and we both love pets. I would be solely in charge of your dog’s care, but (s)/he will have extra love around. My schedule is very flexible so your pet would not be left unattended for extended periods of time. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past seven years. I am looking to have additional income and thought this would be the best of both worlds! I can dog sit at my apartment, stop by for home visits or pet sit at your house. My apartment is close to quite a few dog parks. I have experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety, leash issues, and dogs recovering from surgery. I do require a meet and greet before confirming bookings. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member!

Hi, I'm Jennie! I'm a huge animal lover. I grew up with cats and surrounded by both cats and dogs. I shared a dog with my sister for two years ('07-'09)before they moved back to Atlanta. Right now I'm pursuing a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. I'm looking to make a little extra money as well as spend some time with some furry friends. I miss having a pet, but being a grad student doesn't allow me to have my own pet now.

*I've been petsitting for almost 10 years for either friends or professionally. I started working with DogVacay in 2016.

Hi! I am from Iowa and am still a farm girl at heart! As I was raised on a farm I have had plenty of pets, including dogs, all of my life. Due to my workload at certain times during the year I am not able to have my own dog. So I am looking to spend time with yours when I have plenty of time and attention to give to them! I do work during the weekdays so I have mornings, evenings and weekends open.

I live in the North End. I can't have pups at my place so I will stay at your home (I can stay overnight or just stop by before work and hang out in the evenings - whichever you prefer).

I look forward to meeting you and having the opportunity to care for your dog! There are plenty of parks nearby for us to play.

Also note my prices listed are starting points as different dogs have different needs; we can discuss rates based on your dog's size and needs as well as my commute to get to you. I work in East Cambridge by Science Park - a 25 min walk from the North End - so prefer to sit around there or the North End to ensure I can minimize the commuting time in getting to your dog.

**About me**
I've had dogs my whole life and love taking care of them. My partner and I have a chihuahua, and would love for her to have other dogs around her. I can take them on walks and play in the park, since our apartment is in a central location.

Growing up I had a french poodle, golden retriever and rescue dogs. Almost 2 years ago my partner and I finally got our own. She's a 5 pound chihuahua named Bella, very social, well behaved, and loves other dogs. We would love for her to hang out with other dogs (preferably small ones, although she seems to think no dog is too big for her). We spoil Bella and would love for her to have a friend to spoil too. Happy to discuss preferences!

**About my home/services**
- Overnight stay: Small dogs only. We only host 1 dog at a time, so you can be sure that we will give him/her all our attention. During the week, I can walk them twice a day. During the weekend, I can pretty much have a full day with the dogs and take them to the park. We live in a pet-friendly apartment, and have plenty of toys your dog can play with.

- Walks: Small, medium and large dogs. I can take them on a leisurely walk by themselves or with Bella. If your dog needs some exercise, I can take him/her for a run with me.


**About my neighborhood**
Our apartment is in the Financial District, right next to the greenway and just 5 minutes away from the Boston Common. This allows me to take your dog for a walk on the greenway or take him/her to the common.
I work in Back Bay, so during the week I can easily check on the pet during my lunch break if necessary.

**What to expect**
I love taking dogs for walks and runs. During the weekend, I can take him/her to the park and play. There's also plenty of toys in the apartment (thanks Barkbox). If your dog is a cuddler, he/she can sleep with us.

**Special rules or requests**
Overnight stay: Small dogs only. If you have a chihuahua, he/she will love Bella!
Walks: Any size.

Hello! I'm a caring, thoughtful, animal lover with dog-sitting experience who would enjoy spending time with your loved one. I am more than happy to step in to help whenever you need me, and I'll treat your buddy as my own, and keep him/her happy while you are away! I am a graduate student and have a spaced out, flexible schedule (1 hr 15 min classes, 1 or 2x/day, no classes Friday) so please contact me about specifics, and we can further discuss my availability.

My luxury apartment building is pet-friendly, and it's located a block away from the Public Gardens, so your pal will have ample space to get some exercise. I'm also a short walk away from the fenced in dog park in South End, and will love taking your pal to park to get some free roaming exercise while socializing with his fellow pals! I am eager and enthusiastic to be a new friend for your dog, and would make sure that the experience is welcoming and fun for you and your pal! I look forward to meeting you and your dog! Have a great day!

I've been a dog lover my whole life. Had three Goldens and a miniature dachsund under the same roof growing up. I'm constantly told by my friends that I need to get a dog of my own...but only if I continue to dog sit when they leave town.

If dogs could Yelp, I'd be kind of a big deal. Frequent updates of your pup's adventures via snapchat is optional, but comes free of charge! Bring on the pups.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to my job I am only available for sitting Friday-Sundays. Please do not inquire for any Mon-Thurs reservations. Thank you!

I'm a student at Berklee College of Music and I'm looking for a way to spend a little more time with dogs while I'm here! I have an eight year old dog at home and miss him terribly while I'm in Boston. While I won't be able to host any pets in my home, I am fully available to offer other services such as walks, checking in, and pup-sitting overnight.

My guest pups would be cool in the summer, warm in the winter and love the city life. There are lots to do in the South-end for my furry friends. I would be available all day weekends and three times a day to take my pup guests for their walks/breaks/play.
